voted exceedingly serious attention
to tbe charges of attempted brLbery
and other forms of improper influence
made In the senate Friday by
7?-"* Senator Gore of Oklahoma and subsequently
in the house by Representative
Murphy of Missouri.
Two seperate Investigations are
provided for?one in each house.
Bach body passed a resolution creating'
a select committee of Ave members
to pursue the ' inquiry' to the
bottom during recess of congress and
to report whether any of its members
are, or have been, interested in
any of these contracts. Until a late
hour in the day it looked rather as
if t?e matter would go by default.
But as soon as the two houses reoonveyed
at 9 o'clock That night.,
after a recess since afternoon, the
matter came up with a rush, and
crowded galleries listened with intense
intej-eet to the proceedings,
v*hich ended in the vote to probe
the charges.
Vice-President Sherman announced
the following committee to conduct
the senate investigationSenators
-/ones of Washington; Durton of Ohio,
Crawford of South Dakota, Hughes
of Colorado, and Perry of Mississippi.
Senator Hughes in presenting his
investigation resolution stated that
Senator Gore's accusations were so
grave that they couid not be ignor
ed.
The resolution was adopted without
opposition. It is as follows:
"Resolved* That a committee of
five, to be appoiuted by the chair, be
and- it is hereby, directed' to investigate
and report whether any senator
of the United States is or during
his term of office has been interested
or called with or connected
with legislation affecting the approval
of Indian contracts or has done
anything because of said interest and
whether any improper attempts or
efforts to prevent or to secure a
statute affecting the approval of Indian
contracts have .been made at
this session of congress; and said
committee is authorized to sit and
proceed in the vacation.
The house adopted a substitute
resolution, offered by Mr. Tawney
(Minn.), creating a committee of
five to investigate the contracts with
the Choctaw, Chlcksaw- and Osage
tribes, the inquiry to embrace any
acts of bribery, fraud, or any other
jmpro)>er influence. The committee

The final figures on the appropriations
made at the second session of

Chairman Tawney, of the commit- ,

leaders charge an excess of that limit.
The statements have been delayed
because of the latness of the

WAR IN CHINATOWN
AS A RKSl'LT TWO CKUCSTIAJLS
WIUL? UKKLV DIK.
Another h Shot Through Thigh and
Seven Are Arretted After the Banquet
Procwlw.
The furtive tong war that sleeps,
but never dies in spite of threats,
promises and solemn treaties, broke
out Sunday afternoon in Chinatown,
in New York City. In ninety seconds
three Chinamen were shot, two of
them fatally, a third was painfully
wouttded, and more than 4 0 shots
were flred. Three minutes following,
seven Chinamen had been arrested.
It hannened that the L'.OOOtll ail
niversary of the founding of the Society
of Four Brothers fell on the
clay of rest, and in its .honor the
member^ Vere to give h banquet ill
Pell street at five o'clock. A monster
scarlet flag, scalloped in green,
floated from the bauquet hall and
guests began to arrive early from
all parts of the city and even from
neighboring towns. Sunday is market
day for Chinamen. Then the
streets are thickest with sightseers,
and the chop suey restaurants thrive
best and in remote back rooms the
dice rattle faster and the dominoes
click sharper.
It was in the midst of this restless,
shuffling throng, sown thick
with policemen, that the shooting
began. There Is no certainty of the
precise provocation, but it is generally
understood in Chinatown thaw
the Ong Leong tong did not relish
the fact that Chu Hen, recently acquitted
of murder of an Ong Lecng
tong man, was to be the 9nest of
honor.
The Hip Sing tong. the Ong Leong
tongs and the Four Brothers occupy
each their street, and no prudent
member of one society trespasses on
the territory of another. Pickets
had been posted at the ends of Pel]
street by the Four Brothers and
scouts of the Ong Leong f -eg patrolled
the adjacent boanuury of
Mott street. There were more po
ucemen on ine oeai vna*? u? i.t oowi
because this was Sunday m ? because
of the banquet.

somebody began to snoot. It :.s

In Ills Opinion Judge Gruber Says,
Kvidonce Contuined in Affidavits1
I .
I>ovj? Not Meet Itequireinents for
Granting liehcuring.?The Decnt*
ion Handed Down Saturday.
A special dispatch from Union to
The State says W. T. Jones has been
refused a uew trial. I
Special Judge W. B. Gruber, pre-j,
siding in the circuit court for Union J
county, Saturday afternoon handed
down hla decision in the case, where-]
in the defendant, convicted of the
murder of his wife, Marion Jonc*, ;
is denied the right to again present
his defense to a jury of his peers.
The application for a new trial,
after the case had been heard by
the supreme court and determined
adversely to the defendant, is based!
upon alleged misconduct of certain
of the trial jurors and further upon
allegations that material evidence'
unknown to the defendant has been
discovered 'since the trial of the
case.
Judge Gruber, in his decision, I
which covers 12 typewritten pages,'
reviews at some length the testimony j
introduced by the state at the trial
of the case, coining to the points at
issue in the motion before him, the
judge, alter reviewing the proceed
ings before Judge Meinminger for a
new trial in this case, holds that tae
question as to the alleged misconduct
of some of the trial jurors was
passed upon by Judge Memminger
and that this matter is, therefore,
res adjudicata and that he has no
power if he bad the inclination to
consider this ground of that motion
for a new trial.
The second ground upon which the
motion is based, that of after-discovered
evidence, is fully considered
in the decree. Judge Gruber points
out that the after-discovered evi
donee niUBt be material, and that it'
could not have been discovered by
the exercise of due dilligence before
the trial.
He then discussed the evidence
contained in the affidavits submitted
by the defendant in support of the!
motion for a new trial unM holds'
that it does not, in his opinion, meet
the requirements; that he is not!
convinced the defendant could not
have discovered the evidence in
time to use it at the trial.
He points out, also, that some of
the witnesses, whose testimony is alleged
to be newly discovered, were
bound over to attend the trial and,
others lived on W. T. Jones places.
The judge concludes by over-ruling
the motion on both grounds. The'
defendant's attorneys at once gave
verbal notice of an appeal to the
supreme court.

One In Southern France That is
lfMMJ Veal's Old.
In southern France there is a concrete
bridge, known as the Pont tin
I Gard, which was created in 5 6 H.
C. The concrete employed in the
building is not composed of crushed
stone or other small aggregate of j
the variety now used in such work,
but was of the old style, consisting
of alternate layers of large ami
? - ?
small stones, gravel, etc., and of
cementitious materials. Virtuvius
describes the materials and methods
in use before the Christian era as
do other writers. It is very improbable
that the Pont du Card would
have withstood the rigors ol' our
own climate for this length of time
and its actual state of preservation,
as well as that of many other
specimens of ancient concrete wont
proves that if modern work of this :
kind is honestly executed it will ,
outlast the requirements of those \
!ivlng at the present time.

PRISONER A SUICIDE
NEGRO DRANK BI G Jl'ICK AND
DIK8 IN JAIL.
Knds IIU Life Rather than Fare
Trial for Infanticide.?Received
Medical Attention.
Alfred Poole, an aged negro prisoner
confined to the county jail at
Gaffney to await trial at the next |
term of court, committed suicide by
drinking bug killer in his cell last
Friday night, dying from the effects
about one o'clock.
Poole was arrested about two
weeks ago at Cowpens, charged with
being an accomplice in the killing
of a negro baby at his home near
Cowpens. lie was about 50 years
of age.
It has been the custom of the
Jailer to supply the prisoners with
bug killer at intervals. When the
disinfectant was given to Poole he
saved it until night came, and th.m
drank it, becoming paralyzed at
once. Although there were two other
prisoners in the same cell, both
of them disclaim any knowledge of
the taking of the juice and claim
that they knew nothing about the
affair until they became suspicious
of his loud breathing. When they
attempted to rouse him they found
him dying. Medical assistance was
summoned and although everything
possible was done, Poole soon died.
The evidence tended to show that
the act had been contemplated for
several days, as he had told his
son Sam, who is confined in the
jail as a witness to the murder of
the infant, that he did not intend
to live much longer. This was
about three days before the act was
committed. He seemed to be in fear
of the outcome of bis trial for the
murder of the infant.
The coroner's inquest was held at
the jail next morning and the jury
decided that Alfred Poole came to
his death by his own hands. The
ir#-year-old girl who was implicated
by the verdict of the coroner's jury
with Poole is now in jail, awaiting
trial.
A XKW FIJIHK.
Virginia Man Has One to Startle the
World
Claiming to have solved the secret
ot' aerial navigation in a heavier
than air aeroplane, R. R. Grant,
of Norfolk, Va.., is ready to prove
that -he can remain lip in the air under
al kinds of weather conditions,
barring a hurricane. Grant is the
assistant city electrician of Norfolk,
and for many months has been experimenting
with his machine eariy
in the morning when nearly everybody
in the city was asleep. There
has been various reports made
rei: tive to peculiar lights seen
overhead at such hours, but runny
persons attributed them to imagination.
A few weeks ago, Henry Hyslop,
a newspaper route owner, reported
that he heard a peculiar noise and
saw a light in the air a few miles
outside the city limits about three
o'clock in the morning. His report
was so plausible that an investigation
was made and it was discovered
that Grant, assisted by J. T. Morse,
a mechanical expert had b> en experimenting
with their machine and
had mane some wondertul night..
Mr. Grant declares that lie believed
that he and his co-worker
have sneetded in solving aerial navigation
in a different way from other
navigators. They claim that
their machine will remain in the air
under all weather conditions barring
of course, an unusually severe
storm.
